| Great program. Uses up less ram then Avast!, Trend Micro, or AVG. Eset Nod is a great antivirus. | |||

| This process popped up after I installed NOD32 AV, as it is a core component. I run a P3 900, 512 ram, XP SP2, latest(as of 7/21/2008) NOD32 AV, but not the full ESET suite. I have never seen this process take more than 42 megs (usually 30-34). Also: 50 to 100% cpu usage? At idle, my machine bounces from 0 to 7%. When NOD32 is scanning my system, and processing power is available, the program will use it (DUH). There isn't much lag when starting other programs during a scan. This is by FAR the least noticeable of AV programs I have tried (Norton, McAfee, and a couple free ones). A resource hog? Compared to similar offerings, it's not if your box running right. | |||

| Its a wonderful antivirus written in assembly language. So consumes less resources and can scan an entire 80GB disk in just 10 minutes! ESET Nod32 3.0.642.0 is really good for security | |||

| I think nod32 is living off of an old reputation. Bought nod32 because it was supposed to be fast but ekrn.exe kills my CPU takes 100% for several minutes on startup. Ver 2.X may have been great Ver 3.X is a CPU hog | |||

| Since I installed the new NOD32 Smart Security I am having the same problems some other users have. While previous NOD32 AV's didn't cause any lag, surfing with Smart Security is 80% slower.... Even when I disable the web access protection | |||
